Managing and Serving Image
Sahil KokamkarTable of content
I use cloudinary to serve and manage my image upload instead of severing image through the same server.
Why I choose Cloudinary?
There are many image uploads manager out there such as imagekit, imgix, uploadcare, filestack etc. I selected cloudinary because it was easy to integration with my existing workflow. And offers add-ons, to better manage images, such as using AI to tag images automatically and other such stuff.
Below are the list of add-ons offered by Cloudinary.
Advantages through Cloudinary
- Removes EXIF data by default
- Support for WebP, AVIF and other image format
- Image transformation on the fly
- Lazy-loads images by default
- Serves image through CDN
- Automated image optimization
- Restricting image access
Final Note:
I didn't notice any performance difference because I serve my blog through CDN as well. But it has help me to better manage my images. And I am sure it was an overkill my blog.
